Dummy weaning fail

Hi just looking for advice! We tried to go cold turkey with the dummy for our little one (it’s been 3 days) and she was ok during naps but bedtime and throughout the night (every 1-2hrs) needs to breastfeed/use me as a dummy instead and my partner can’t help me at all in the night! It’s just way too much for me and ...

How long does it take for a routine? My boy is 3 weeks but he’s wide awake at night. He’s fed both sides and even after that he’s still hungry at times and trying to do anything in a day just doesn’t happen. I don’t want to resort to

Formula as I like the bond but it is intense sometimes and I just wonder when it will ease off and he will be fuller for longer. I’d like to do some Christmasy things soon too

Bedtime

My little boy naturally starts to get tired at about 7pm and is usually asleep by 7.30. He sleeps really well through the night but then is bright eyed at 5am ready to start the day 😂I don't know how to make him sleep a bit longer. Should I try and delay his bedtime a bit? I don't want to keep him awake if he's…

Day Old Baby

Is it normal for my day old baby to be waking every hour and crying?? I will put her in the crib and shortly after will be crying. I don’t think she is hungry because I’ve fed her and always check that her nappy is clean.

Sleep Help

My LO will fall asleep but then wake up 30 mins later. He is fed, diaper is changed, burped, has a calm environment, is swaddled and wakes up so easily. Any tips to get him to stay asleep longer?

6 week old sleep

Hey! My 6 week old has started sleeping long stretches at night (she is formula fed), but how long has everyone else’s slept for? She’s just gone down (7.20pm) and we will wake her at 10 for a feed but then she might sleep through and I’m worried she’s too little for that!! :)

Feeds at night

I’d like to know what everyone else is doing about feeds during the night.. so I’ve just been picking my baby up and feeding her every 3 hours or so because of her fussing and making noises but she’s never actually cried in the night.. so I’ve just been told by my mum not to do that and just try and sleep through it...

Baby is 5 months next week and only had 2 naps today is this normal??

He had a 30 min nap this morning at 930 and then 1.5 hours this afternoon at 1. I tried to put him down at 5 but he refused which means his last wake window is 4 hours long which seems way for long for a 5 month old 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mouth breather

My baby sleeps with her mouth open is this normal, googling it has made me concerned, it’s not every time she has her mouth open but noticed it few times now?

Anyone else?

Does anyone else still need to rock baby to sleep or get them sleeping on you/in your bed etc, then transfer them into cot once they're asleep? If I try to get him to fall asleep in his cot it's a nightmare, he's either screaming his lungs out or he's standing up, babbling and laughing for literally hours!
